New Writing Scotland is a longstanding annual anthology that publishes new writing in English, Scots, and Gaelic by writers living in Scotland or of Scottish origin. Edited by a rotating panel, the series has provided a platform for both emerging and established voices since its inception in 1983. The anthology is distributed internationally and is held in major literary archives, making it a significant credit for any writer's bibliography. Submissions are open to writers at all stages of their careers. There is no fee to submit, and the editors welcome work in a range of genres, including fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. While the deadline is fixed, the submission window typically opens several months in advance; writers are advised to consult the organization's website for the most current guidelines and to confirm the opening date. The curatorial vision emphasizes literary merit and originality. The editors seek work that demonstrates a command of language, a distinctive voice, and a meaningful engagement with form or subject matter. Previous contributors have included both debut writers and those with established reputations, reflecting the anthology's commitment to showcasing the breadth of contemporary Scottish writing.
